Physical Mission - Orbitworks

MISSION MODELS

Physical Missions

Physical Missions are designed for customers deploying payloads, hardware or mission-specific systems, as well as organisations that need a spacecraft solution configured around their requirements. Orbitworks provides a structured route from mission design to orbit through integration, launch and operational support based in Abu Dhabi.

OVERVIEW

A Mission Model Built Around Hardware-Led Delivery

Physical Missions are suited to customers who need a spacecraft or hosted payload mission built around their own hardware requirements. Instead of managing multiple suppliers across integration, launch and operations, customers work through Orbitworks via a more unified delivery model.

Ideal for missions that require dedicated hardware capability, higher levels of control or bespoke integration support.

WHAT IT INCLUDES

What Orbitworks Provides

Physical Missions give customers access to the infrastructure and delivery support required to move from hardware integration to operational deployment.

Satellite Platform Integration

Integrate customer payloads or mission hardware into a proven spacecraft platform environment.

Payload Accommodation

Support hosted payload and mission-specific integration requirements through a flexible delivery model.

Launch Coordination

Manage launch planning, logistics and deployment support through a coordinated mission pathway.

Mission Operations

Ongoing post-launch operational support, helping customers move from deployment to mission execution.

COCKPIT

The Software Layer Behind Mission Operations

From payload tasking to operational visibility, Cockpit gives customers a clearer and more connected way to interact with mission infrastructure. Discover how the platform supports control across Orbitworks mission models and application areas.

WHO IT IS FOR

Designed for Missions That Need Dedicated Hardware Capability

Physical Mission is best suited to organisations that need a mission built around their own payload, hardware or sovereign operational requirements.
